Can't activate cellular data network

My 2 month old iPad Air has been working fine until yesterday - suddenly I get the message "Could not activate cellular data network". Cellular data is the whole reason I bought the thing. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've done all the steps on Apple's Support Site short of totally resetting the thing.
Also - I don't see this device or it's data plan on my verizon bill. I only see my family's cell phones. Should I be seeing the data plan for this?

  • IPHONE 5: can't receive calls & random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network."  This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational.

    IPHONE 5:  can't receive calls and random error messages, such as "could not activate cellular data network" and "no connection - network unavailable, please connect to wifi or cellular network."  This occurs even when signal strength or wifi is operational, and it does not matter whether wifi is on or off.  ATT went through the standard protocol - resetting network, resetting sim card, etc.  No changes.  Other phones working fine in same region with same carrier.  Apple's solution is to restore software, but haven't gone there yet.  Anyone successfully addressed this/these issues?   

    I should point out that it worked when the iPhone was set back to factory settings, but when restored with the backup, data/internet no longer works again, and I get the "Could not activate cellular data network" error message yet again.

    I've lost cellular date network, all unopened important business emails and internet access on my Ipad 2 after 5.0 upgrade.  Received "Could not activate cellular date network"  - I have turned on and off, removed the sim and checked the APN is correct.  Can anyone help - struggling and need for my business.

  • Having just upgraded to Ios6 I can not log into my carrier. I get the message "Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data network." What can I do to rectify this?

    Having just upgraded my iPad to IOS 6 I can no longer log onto my 3G Carrier. I get thi message "Could not activate cellular data network. You are not subscribed to a cellular data service" what can I do to rectify this?

    I have done that and it is definitely on.  My husband has the exact same phone and I upgraded his IOS at the same time, but this problem is not happening to his phone (we are also on the same plan, so our service should be the same).  Our settings appear to be identical and my phone is showing the 3G symbol at the top, so I can't understand why it won't access the network.
    I've turned it on and off twice and have reset all settings with my iTunes account, but it still isn't working.
    I'm not a complete idiot with this sort of stuff - I have tried all the obvious things.

  • How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

    Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

    All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
    Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

  • My iPad 2 won't connect 3G keeps saying cann not activate cellular data network?

    My iPad 2 keeps saying could not activate cellular data network. Does anyone know how I can get it to connect to 3G? I have tried resetting and turning wifi off. Any suggestions?

    I have had 4 iPhone 4S 3G on Verizon. I have never been able to activate by dialing *228. I could not activate via iCloud or iTunes, either. I went to the apple store. They had to do it. I could not set up a Yahoo email account yesterday on the latest device swapped. The Apple Store rep had to look up a workaround online. It's a CLOWN SHOW!

  • Cannot activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to

    Cannot activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to a cellular data service. Never happened until I have switched to boost. I have spoken with them for hours and they say it's fine from their end and I've reset network settings, replaced my nano sim for my iPhone 5, restored my phone played with wifi on and off airplane mode on and off I don't know what else I can do. Please help me experts!

    Under "settings / general / network" is your "Cellular Data" button set to "ON"?

  • Could not activate cellular data network fix

    Im on an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.2 with StraightTalk and any time I attempt to connect to the internet with 3G it say "Could not activate cellular data network. You Are Not Subscibed." I need a fix for it! Please help!

    This is not an uncommon problem apparently.
    Did you try dialing *22890?
    How did you activate your iPhone (iTunes, iCloud, WalMart kiosk)?
    Some on the StraightTalk forums report success by visiting a WalMart which is equipped with an activation kiosk and asking a qualified WalMart empolyee to activate the phone (be sure and back up any critical data before you do that since they will reset the phone).
    Also, are you in the home area code of your phone? My iPhone 5 was set to not allow data roaming outside of my home network.  I am not sure if that means my area code or the StraightTalk network.  Either way, you can go to Settings>Cellular>Roaming and check to see if data roaming is turned on.  Be careful if you roam a lot, though as you might incur additional data charges.
    Hope this helps.

  • Could not activate cellular data network error

    i bought ipad 2 few days back. while i'm trying to connect to 3G i'm getting the pop up saying "could not activate cellular data network".. can anyone help?

    If you have the sim version (AT&T in the US), did you purchase a sim card from your carrier, insert it and buy data?  If you have CDMA version (Verizon in the US), have you contacted your carrier to set up a data plan?

  • "Could not activate cellular data network" dialog, tried nearly everything, please help!

    I have had my iPad 3 since it came out. The 4G has had occasional issues, but I was always able to connect. Now out of the blue, after working perfectly well yesterday, it suddenly says "Could not activate cellular data network" when I try to go to the browser. The signal looks strong with Verizon LTE on top of the screen. I can also go through the Verizon dialog to see my account and how much data I have used so far, so in some way I am clearly connected to the cellular network. I have tried resetting the network settings, then re-provisioned, rebooted and still have the same problem in every detail. If anyone has any ideas on what else to try short of clearing the machine back to factory settings, please let me know.

    Verizon is having trouble. I'm trying to activate my phone and they said they were having trouble activating the SIM cards. They said they would call me back when they resolved the issue. It's been about 40 minutes now and I haven't heard from them and I can't do anything on my old phone because everything is tied up due to the pending order.

  • Could not activate cellular data network att 3g after upgrading form 5.1.1 to 6.1

    Hello im deployed in Afghanistan.  I brought over my 64gb ipadw att over here.  I got a new sim for it day one.  It's work flawlessly for 2 months.  Last night I upgraded from 5.1.1. to 6.1 and when it woke back up BOOM! I have all the bars along w/ the "E" Edge network icon but no internet.  Says could not activate cellular data network.  When I put my att sim card in my ipad works perfectly fine racking up ridiculous out of the country roaming fees.  Why did my hodgi sim card stop working?

    I am having similar problems.
    My network settings are correct and I can communicate both over 3G and WiFi.
    However, every few minutes the connection is being dropped. A few seconds later it's back again. I can see this in an application I am developing. It's rather frustrating...
    In the console I see this message prior to the connection being lost and rebuilt:
    "Mon Sep 20 09:44:58 PeterVs-iPhone-3GS configd[23] <Notice>: network configuration changed."
    I have not changed anything to the configuration. What's even more strange is that I ONLY have 3G at this moment, i.e. WiFi is disabled.
    What is changing the network configuration? And why does it mean that the current network connection needs to be torn down and rebuilt? After the network is back, there is no difference than before. So it gets torn down and rebuilt for no apparent reason.
    I have logged a bug with Apple over a week ago, but haven't had any reply from them yet. I need more information about what is happening, and how I can prevent it. I'm not very happy having to grope in the dark, having to make guesses because somebody decided that he knows what's best for me.
    This is happening on multiple iPhones with multiple different OS-es. So I am guessing it is related to my carrier (Vodafone). But I can't verify it because I'm not getting the tools from Apple.

  • "Could not activate cellular data network" message  on iPhone 3GS (iOS 4.1)

    May this year I purchased a brand new iPhone 3GS 16GB from Vodafone on a 24mnth plan with 2gb of data monthly for mobile and tether use. The 3G and normal gsm data alwyas worked in areas where it was avalible until 3 months ago. In safari i would get a message stating that "Could not activate cellular data network" and in all apps no internet serivces worked unless wifi was activated.
    I put my sim in my n95 and my 5800 and internet worked on both. I got my number put onto a new sim card. I restored iPhone. I updated iPhone to 4.1 and reset all network settings.
    Nothing worked and apple came to the conclusion that it was a faulty handset and replaced it on saturday. Today when I woke up, the same message appeared!!!!
    Please anyone help
